Marcus Jackson was stopped by police for expired license plates and then threatened to kill the officers on Facebook.

Muncie, IN - A 29-year-old man, who was previously convicted of resisting arrest and battery on law enforcement, posted on Facebook that he was going to kill a police officer after a traffic stop on Monday.

The series of events that led up to the social media post began when Marcus Deonte Jackson was pulled over by Muncie police at about 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 12, according to the Muncie Star Press.

Two officers stopped Jackson and informed him that his license plate was expired.

Someone on Facebook asked Jackson to take down his comment, but he refused and confirmed his intentions in another message.

“You know I mean what I say. Jail ain’t... but a vacation away from loved ones and true responsibility,” Jackson replied.

Police arrested Jackson for the social media posts at 4:20 p.m. on Monday.

He told investigating officers that he had written the posts because police “keeps harassing everyone,” according to the Muncie Star Press.

Jackson also said he had since deleted the Facebook post “because it was stupid.”

He was charged with intimidation, which is a felony that carries a sentence of up to six years in prison, and released after he posted a $5,000 bond, the Muncie Star Press reported.

Jackson had an extensive history with police prior to his arrest for the social media threats.

He was previously convicted of battery on law enforcement, carrying a handgun without a permit, driving while suspended, possession of marijuana, and resisting law enforcement, according to the Muncie Star Press.

Typical big mouthed thug. They like to think that they are intimidating because of their mouth. He needs to be in prison to discover being a tougher man’ Bitch. BTW: he apparently was not convicted of battery on a LEO or he would be in prison. Is that the liberal justice system at work in Illinois?
